Baby showers are really fun to decorate since you can choose from a wide variety of themes for the shower. One of the most fun parts of a baby shower to decorate is the baby shower cake. You can match your baby shower cake to the theme of the shower or have it just bear a congratulatory message. Either way, with a little creativity your baby shower cake can be a fun centerpiece for your table – not to mention a tasty treat for the guest! Here are some ideas on different ways to decorate a baby shower cake.
Baby Block Cake
These cakes are really cute and are moderately easy to make. Start by baking a sheet cake. Once it has cooled, cut it into squares and stack the square 2 layers high to form “blocks”. Frost each block using different colored frosting. Then pipe cute little numbers or letters on them to make them look like baby blocks using a contrasting frosting. Arrange all of your blocks on a plate with several on the bottom and a couple stacked casually on top. Cute!
Baby Rattle Cake
This cake is really cute and pretty easy to make. Bake a large rectangle cake. Cut out two large circles and a small strip of cake. Arrange the two circles on a covered cardboard tray connected by the small strip of cake to form a baby rattle shape. Frost the entire thing in the colors of your choosing and decorate with icing to make it look like a rattle.
Baby Flower Cake
This is a delicate looking cake that is lovely for a garden themed baby shower. Bake a two layer round cake and frost it with white icing. Arrange edible flowers on top however they look best to you. Lay a couple of flowers casually on the plate around the cake as a finishing touch. You can get edible flowers online or at many organic grocery stores and they come in a huge variety of colors and styles. This cake is so easy to make but looks beautiful and is a unique treat since most people don’t eat flowers too often.
Baby Name Cake (or Baby Boy or Baby Girl Cake)
This style of cake is always a good option and can be as difficult or easy to make as your wish. Bake either a round layer cake or a sheet cake and frost it in the color of your choosing. Use cake decorating tips to decorate it with either the baby’s name or with the phrase “baby boy” or “baby girl. Add any sort of frosting decorations you would like such as starbursts, leaves, some sort of border or whatever suits your fancy. If you don’t have cake decorating tips you can buy frosting that comes in small tubes that can be used to write with and will work just as well.
I hope these ideas help getting you started on making a fun baby shower cake! Use your imagination and creativity and you’ll be sure to come up with the perfect cake for your baby shower.
